Policewoman hunts serial torturer and killer, looks a bit grisly?

Grim, gritty, quite gory but also ultimately life-enhancing in a dark sort of way. Not your average chick-lit, gripping throughout.

Also not an easy read for a German language learner, a lot of idiom. But if you are looking to learn police jargon, some internationage espionage terms and a certain amount of lesbian radical-feminist slang, this book is for you. Read it - I dare you!

Passed it on to a local German teacher for her students.
